THE BACHELORS BBIDAb.
Not a laugh was heard, nor a joyous note.
For our friend to the bridal we hurried.
Not a wit discharged hts lares ell shot.
At the bachelor jus* to be umrried.
We married turn quickly to save his fright,
Our liea v* from the sad sight turning,
Aic* we sighed a* we stood by the lamp s dim light
To think that he was no more discerning.
To tie nk that a bachelor free and bright,
And sh v of the girls as we found bun,
Sh old here by the altar at the dead of night,
IV caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of ihe cake,
Then escorted him home from that scene of dread,
And thought how awfully he’ll shake!
We Thought, as we hollowed his low ly bed,
Os the birch, the beech, and the wiilow.
How the shovel and broomstick would break o’er his
head.
And the tears lie would shed on his pillow.
Savs he, “Thev will talk of their friend who has gone.
And every old Bach will upbraid nie.
But nothing I'll reek, if they let me sleep on,
’Neath the coverlet, just as they’ve laid me.”
Bui half of our heavy task was done,
‘tre the dock tolled the hour for the other;
’Ere we left, with the hoj>e that the hue he had won,
Would never be won by another.
Slowlv aud sadly we marched down,
From the top of the uppermost siory,
And we never have heard from, or seen the poor man,
Whom we lett, not alone, in his glory.
Chinese Love tetters.
We think we might satelv venture on a wager that
perhaps not half a dozen—if any—of our readers have
ever seen a genuine Chinese love letter. We have,
though. Recently in Amoy a marriage was concluded
between a son ot the ancient family of “Tan” aud a
daughter of the equally old and respectable house of
“O. ’ and the annexed produciious, we are as>ured, are
literal translations ot the letters that passed on ihe oc
casion between the fathers of the young couple Here
we have the projiosal of the father of the bridegroom :
“The ashamed younger brother sumamed Tan,
named Su, with washed head makes obcis. n v and w rites
this letter to the gr. Uy virtuous and humble gen
tleman whose name is 0, old Teacher, great uiau, and
presents it at the front of the gallery at this season of
the year : the satin curs ains are enveloped in mist re
flecting the beauty ol the River and Hills, in the fields
of the blue gent are planted rows of willow* close to
gether, arranging arid diffusing the commencement of
genial influences, and consequently adding to iho good
et the old year.
“1 duly re\ ereace your lofty door. The guest of she
Su country descends from a good stock, the origin of
the female of the lim country likewise (is so too. ) You
have received their transforming influences resembling
the effects produced by rain, much more you my hono
rable neatly related Uncle your good qualities are ot a
very rare order. I, the mean one, am ashamed of my -
seif, jus as roiten wood is in the presence of aromatic
Dei bs. , now receive your indulgence, inasmuch as
~U have Its.- ned to he words, f he match .Ke= and

From th.a time forwa and he w surnames wll be uni

I hope hat *our honorable benevolence and considera
tion wifi defend me unceasingly. At present the Diag
<m uies in rsin H.d term, the mst month, lucky day 1,
Mr. Su, bow respectfully Light before.”
On this decoction of the esseu ial oil of modesty- the
young Miss lb’s taller looks with favor, so he responds
in a state ot still more profoundly |M>lite humility :
“The younger brother, sumamed O, named Tus, ot
the family to tie related by marriage, washes his head
dean, knocks hi* head and bows, and writes ihis mar
riage le;ier in teply to ihe for-famed aud virtuous gen
tleman surnanied fan, (he venerable teacher and great
man who manages this business. At this season the
heart of the plum blossom is increasingly white, at the
begat mug of the nrst month it ojk-us its petals. The
eye brows of the willow shoot out their green, when sha

enjoy all the aforementioned felicity ; more esjiec.ally
w 1! you, kouOtable geuleiuan, who possess abilides
great and deep, your manners are dignified and pure
i. ihe foolish one, am ashamed ot my diminutiveness.
I .or a long time, have desired your dragon powers,
now you have not looked down upon me with contempt,
but have entertained the statements of the match ma
ker mi agree to give Mr. Kang to be united to my
daughter. We all wish the girl to have her hair dress
sen, a,.d lie young man to nut on his cap of manhood.
The | each flowers just now look beautiful, the red plum
also looks gay. i praise your son, who is like a lairv
horse who can cros- over through water, and is able to
nde upon the wind and waves, but my tiny daughter is
like a green window and a feeble plant, aud is not
worthy ot becoming the object of verse.
“Now 1 reverently bow to your good words, and
make use of them to display your good breeding. Now
I hope vour honorable benevolence v. ill always remem
her me’without end. Now the Diagon files in the Sin
Hai term, first month, lucky day. Alt*. Tu makes obei
sance. May the future be prosperous.”
The modesty of the old gentleman is so painful that
we are almost airaid to guess what may have been the
feelings of Master Tan and Miss O.; but whatever they
were, they must have overcome them by tins time, for
the friend to whom vreare iiidebieu for these epistolary
gems, danced at their wedding a couple of months back,
and was nearly suffocated with drinking scalding black
tea out of cocoa-nut shell cups.
But the letters themselves—for we have received the
originals, together with the translation—are at leas! as
remarkable for externa! glitter as tor internal value.
l.ach ol them is about the size of one of the Ci'izen 1 *
pages, and consists of a rich frame comi*osod of some
thing like our papier inache, inside of which is artisti
cally folded a scroll of richly tinted crimson paper stud

a modesty. The outer surface is likewise emblazon

Pow er of the English Laxgl-ags.— lt used to be
said shat if Athens and Lacedaemon could but make up
their minds to be good friends, and make a common
cause, they would be masters of tbe world. The wealth,
the science, the maritime enterprise and daring ambi
tion ot ihe one, assisted by the population, the territo
ry, the warlike spirit, the stern institutions of the other,
could not fail to carry the whole world before them.—
That was a project hostile to the peace and prosperity ol
mankind, and ministering to national vanity. Alar
grander object, of more easy and more honorable acqui
sition, lies before England and the United States, and
ail other countries owning our origin and speaking our
language. Let them agree not in alliance offensive and
defensive, but simply never to go to war with another.
i,et them permit one another to develope, as Providence
seems to suggest, and the British race will gradually
and quietly a,tain to a pre-eminence beyond the reach
of mere jiolicy and arms The vas: and ever increasing
interchange of commodities between the several mem
bers of thi great family, tbe almost daily communica
tion now opened across, not one, but several oceans; the
perpetual discoveries of new means of locomotion, in
which steam itself now bids fair to be supplanted bv an
equally- powerful but cheaper and more convenient agen
cy, all promise to unite the whole British race through
out the world in one social and commercial unity, more
mutually beneficial than any contrivance of poli
tics. Already, what does Austria gain from Hmitrarv,
France from Algeria, Russia from Siberia, or anv other
absolute monarchy from its abject population, or what
town from its rural suburbs, that England does not de
rive in a much greater degree from ihe United States
aud the United StaVs from England What commer
cial patnership, w hat industrious household exhibits so
direct an exchange of services? All that is wanted is
that we should recognise this sacs, and give it all the
assistance in our power. XX’e cannot be independent of
one another. The attempt is more than unsocial; it is
suicidal. Y'otild either dispense with tbe labor of Ihe
other, it would immediately lose the reward of its own
nidus ry X\ bethel national jealousy, or the thirst ol
warlike enterprise, or tbe grosser appetite of mercantile
monopoly attempt the separation, the result and the
crime are the same. We are made helps meet for one
another. Heaven has joined all who speak the British
language, and what heaven has joined let no man think
to pui asunder. —Lmdun Time*.
Fkekch Kid Gloves.— This delicate article of ladies’
wear, is becoming famous in courts as well as in draw
ing-rooms, and is handled by lawyers as well as beaux,
to its gn-a injury, however, and loss of character and
standing. The evidence in the slander case of Fowles
versus Bowen, in New York, this week, brought out
some curious revelatious. Fowles was a clerk of Bow
en aud McXamee, the successors of Arthur Tappan, and
Uo., and was discharged by them for quarreling with
another of his clerks. Two of this firm subsequently
gave hirn a recommendation to a house in Cincinnati,
which dealt with them, but with which he did not stay
long. Due of tbe latter firm visited New X’ork and pur
chased his gloves of another establishment. Whether
this tact was known to BotVen and McXamee or not,
does not clearly appear in the evidence, but Mr. Bowen
took occasion to accuse Fowls of being a great liar, and
in the trial Fowles brought the glove question into
Court
\ clerk of ihe celebrated house of A. T. Stewart and
Uo., dejH.sed that certain gloves, manufactured by Boi
vaiue and Cos., Baris, came invoiced so high, that the
S -war: house could not sell them to their customers;
a most marvellous admission, considering that it is
generally unders c-od that Stewart’s customers pay
what is asked for fa-hionahle goods without question.
But the Day Book, in publishing the trial, shows that
I>< wen and t o did sell gloves with the stamp of this
cosily Baiisiao film, and it also gins an impress'en ta
ke. i from the original “brass die,” made in New \ fork,
for Bowen an 1 McXamee to counterfeit the stamp of the
Fiench manu&ctuter. Messrs. Bowen and Cos., are no
ted Xbolitionisis, and some time since announced to the
public that their “goods and not their principles were
lor sale ” It would be worth while to ascertain thenar
value of Ihe principles of these descendants of Tim
Tur ipcnny; and at what price they would sell in the
present state of ihe money maiket. —£odon Courier.
Sixgclar Phenomenon. — Some months ago, Mr
Nicholas Flint, of Great X'alley, in digging a well, after
excavating to the depth of about forty feet, and finding
no water, determined to dig no deeper, as the space bad
already become so small that he was afraid, should he
sink it” deeper, that the sides would fall in, if he attemp
ted to s'otie it up. He accordingly abandoned it, throw
ing planks across the mouth to prevent accident, in
tending to till it up again when he had leisure.
One day be heard a singular noise-, which seemed to
proceed from he well, and on going to it, lie discovered
that it was caused by a heavy draft of air forcing itsell
up from ihe well. This continued for some days, when
the current of air became reversed, and there was a
strong draft downwards, so much set that light substan
ces brought Dear the crevices in the planks were in
stantly drawn in He then procured a piece of pump
log, ala>ut two feet long, with an aj erture of two
inches in diameter, and inser ed this firmly- in one of
the planks. The air, as it forces itself in'o or oui
of this tub", makes a roaring sound which can be beard
for nearly a mile. In f.ic‘, this well scums now to j>ei
fotm all the breathirg functions of a huge pair of lungs,
although the inhalations and exhalations continue for a
natch longer period than in anv animal now known—
as if is sometimes several days in drawing iu its breath,
and as long rime in forcing it out.
Tbo boys in she neighborhood often amuse thern
sclvos, while exhalation is going on, by pulling tlic-.r
caps over the end of the iubs, to see them thrown sev
eral feet in the air. Another fact is, that the ie-pirato
rv o-gans of (his breathing monster eeetn to be entirely
under the control of the atmosphere—so that, in addi
tion to its other singularities, it acts (he double part ol’
thermometer and barometer. For sonic hours prece
ding a change from a lower to a higher degree f tem
perature, the inhalation grow less and less, until it is
finally impcrccptibles; then tlte air commences rushing
out -the current growing stronger end stronger, until
Hu* wea her has become settled, after which it again
sub-ides to await another depression of the mercury,
to “ i ike in a. other breath.” — CFLtramju* II /nr.

‘i It C oolie or British Niave Trade.
Coteinporary with !he final triumph (that is, the the
oretical triumph) of the British slave trade, sprung into
existence anew traffic, quite innocent and even praise
worthy-, iu ihe eyes of philanthropy, i renowned for
having its eyes turned outside in, whereby it can satisfy
itself by forever gazing at its own complete idea, iustead
of being compelled to take the broken images of things
as they are;) and the substitute has proved so ingeni
: ous that even the sugar planters of Cuba have almost
come to the .conclusion that it is cheaper aud better t ban
the original. It has accordingly thriven wonderfully,
tinder the jo-nt coun enance ot philanthropy and the
“dealers iu human cat le.”
Our attention has been drawn to this subject by ihe
C ilifornia papers received by the last arrivals. From
leading rxirts of India, and more especially from China,
it would appear that the coolie trade has been fully or
ganized on a grand scale. In a single Calcutta paper
there is a notice often ships taken up lor t lie transpor
tation of coolies to the British XX est Indies. Many
thousands are every year carried to the Mauritius,
where they are worked to death, and thus room made
for more.
But the trade in China is most remarkable, in conse
quence of its having finally come athwart the intense
nationality of the Chinese, and thus led not only to a
variety of petty tragedies and explosions, but to an ex
jKisure of the true character of the traffic so graciously
smiled upon by Exeter Hall, in the midst of its denun
ciations of slavery.
The Hindoos are a patient race, used to be conqured,
trampled on, skinned, and s> 11 by strangers. It seems
to have become part of iheir nature to take all this as a
m i ter of course, and without complaint. The coolie
t.ade has therefore flourished with them, and gone on
i icreasing, without murmur or question. But the Chi
new- are a different sort of animat—vain of their nation
al name, despising and hating foreigners, and as tiirbu
-1 nt aud mobbish as the Mexicans themselves. Graedv
of gain, and singularly unscrupulous as to the means,
there was not the smallest difficulty iu engaging any
amount of Chinese brokers in the business of selling
their countrymen—the difficulty was to get the “ cattle”
into the market. It appears that a sound Chinaman,
delivered at !lie British agency, was worth a hundred
dollars, and the cattle, as we said, not being pleased
with the process of transfer to tlie outside barbarians, it
was necessary for the agents to resort to cunning devi
ces, and when these failed, to plain kidnapping.
The result has been anything but pleasant. In a ease
not very long since, the coolies rose against the officers
of the ship at sea, and murdered them. The Alta Cali
fornia intimates that the example has been abundantly
copied since. It says: “Every arrival brings us ac
counts of vessels putting back without officers, and in
the utmost distress, the result of disaffection and muti
ny on the part of the injured and deluded passengers,
who were perhaps induced to take passage under false
re; resentations, and promises of a speedy passage to
California or some other country where they might earn
a subsistence.”
Tins is not all. The Chinese population nt home
have become bitterly exasperated at the frauds practised
on them, and in the cities where the system has been
most extensively sot in force, have nioubid the British
traders, and put to death their Chinese agents. At
Amoy the crew of a man-of-war was called on shore to
defend the house of one of the dealers in “ human cat
tle.” But it is not called the slave trade, and therefore
is honest in the eyes of all the motley tribes of mothers
and pharisees. But the real character of it may be dc
ter-iined by the fact that the Cuba planters have begun
to look to it as a profitable substitute for the African
slave trade.
Theatres. —American audiences am much more
queit and attentive than the theatrical assemblages of
England. In the latter country, a running commenta
ry of ridicule generally accompanies a poor performance.
The gallery makes itself distinctly audible, and the
“gods realize ihepoetical formula in proving themselves
to be “gods of larger utterance.” There is more order
and decorum in our theatres. The police are m >re on
the alert, and the certainty of a penalty—tolerably hea
vy, sometimes—restrains our fastest men within decent
bounds. As an instance of how they do these things
in London, take the following ;
“On Christinas night the heavy tragedy of‘Douglas,’
was performed at one of the London theatres, but the
Times’ critic observes : Lady R mdolph’s ‘voice of soi
row,’ from ‘woman’s bursting heart/ excited but little
svmj athv, whilst young Norval was delivered after
tiiis style: ‘My name is Norval/ (turn him out,) on the
Grampian Hills (pitch him over) my father feeds his
(lock (how’s your mother,) a frugal swain; (order!
down in front! > whose constant care was/(hats off,)
•t and so on through the piece.”
These were more entertainments than had been set
down in the bill. The actors must have enjoyed their
situation exceedingly— X. U Delia.
Curiosities of Election Bribery in England.—
The earliest recorded instance of bribery at elections is
that noticed by Blackstone in his Commentaries, when,
referring to L>7l, 13th ot Elizabeth, one Thomas Lunge
(being a simple man and of small capacity to serve in
parliament acknowledged he had given tlie returning
otliccr and others of the borouarh <>*’ <<>
be returned member, and was for ihat premium elec; ed ;
but for this offence the borough was amerced, the mem
ber was removed, and the officer lined and imprison
ed.
In one of Queen Anne’s Parliaments, a gentleman of
large property, on becoming a candidate for a borough,
ordered a small ale house in the town to be opened in
Ins interest. Boniface, thinking thisa veri proper time
to make his fortune, when forwarding his bill, charged
the ale that was drunk at £3 OO. The constable remon
strated and refused to pay, alleging, as a reason, it was
impossible hi* house could hold that quantity, but, at
the same time, to render him amplejustice, proffered to
pay tor as much beer as the house would hold. This
was agreed to, and a surveyor employed, but, after mea
suring every corner of the house, the surveyor reported
its capabilities no more than at £l4 Ins.
In the Shoreliam bribery case before the House of
Commons, in January 1771, it apjieured she elections
were there conducted by persons who culled themselves
the “ Christian Club,” and who met under the pretence
of debating about religion, but, in reality, to settle Ihe
business of electing a member for their borough. Eve
ry person belonging to this club was sworn to secrecy

Exploration of Africa. —The United States ship
John Adams sailed from the River Gambia on the 14th
February, having on board Commander Lynch, of the
United States Navy, who arrived there the day previous.
A letter in the Journal of Commerce says that Com
mandcr Lvnch is under orders from the Secretary of
the Navv, in connexion with the Pennsylvania Coloni
zation Society, to examine the XX’est Coast of Africa,
and decide upon a location suitable, in regard to health
fulness, fertility, Ac., for the colonization of our free
colored population. He had orders for any United
States vessel he might tall in with to transport him to
“whatever point he might wish to proceed. Con
gress declined making any appropriation for this explo
ration, and hence, we suppose, it must drop, so far as
an exploration of the interior ofAfrica was desired.
Experiment with Gu ano. —As many of our planters
are now about trying Guano in their crops, we publish
for their benefit tlie following experiments made by
Col. T. E. Law of Darlington District, which were pub
lished in the Darlington Flag of the 17th u!t:
Experiment Ist. —Made on land in a high state of im
provement from former manuring.*.
lyo lbs. Guano per acre produced 1872 lbs. seed cot
ton.
llog pen manure produced 1768 lbs seed cotton.
Difference in favor of Guano 104 lbs.
Cost of 100 lbs. Guano, $2,50. XVortli of 104 lbs. cot
ton seed $2,60, or equal to ln-i per cent on cost of Guano
over llog pen manure, heavily put on.
Experiment 2nd. —On poorer laud 100 lbs. Guano
per acre produced .<4* lbs. seed cotton; without manure
of any kind, 676 lbs seed ootton.
Difference iji favor of Guano 312 lbs. seed cotton
equal to 312 per cent on cost of Guano applied.
Experiment .'id.—lso lbs Guano per acre made 150 3
1 > seed eott< u, hog pen manure 1; 52 lbs
Difference in favor Guano 156 lbs, equal to 104 per
cent, on cost Guano.
Experiment 4th.—150 lbs Guano per acre made 078
lbs, 2o*’ lbs Guano per acic made o62 lbs.
Difference in favor of 150 lbs Guano 26 lbs.
This experiment was made on two rows of each, in
stead ot one, as in tlie other cases, and it so happened
that it was where a fence had stood several years and
ha<l been moved, which 1 think is the cause o f giving
advantage to the smaller quantity of Utiatio applied.
Experiment ssh.—so lbs Guano per acre made 676
lbs; without manure 508.
Difference in favor Guano 73 lbs, equal to 150 per
cent on cost of Guano.
Experiment 6ib.—300 lbs Guano per acre made 1313
lbs; without manure 528 lbs.
Difference in favor Guano 715 lbs, equal to 238 per
cent on cost of Guano.
Effects of Drainage. —All the rains that fall upon
our fields must either be carried away by natural or ar
tificial drainage; or. having thoroughly saturated the
soil on which it falls, be left upon the surface to be car
ried off bv evaporation. Now, every gallon of water
thus carried off by evaporation, requires as much heat
ns would raise five and a half gallons from the freezing
to the boiling point. Without going to extreme
cases, the great effects of the heat thus lust upon
vegetation cannot fail to be striking, and 1 have fre
qutiitlv found the soil of a field well drained higher in
ten oerafure from l"to 15 degrees than that of another
field which had not bee:; drained, though in every oth
er respect tbe soils were similar. I have observed ef
fects of this on the growing crop, and 1 have seen only
one, a much inferior crop on the under drained field,
but hat crop harvested fully three weeks af.er the oth
er, aud die setting in of unsettled weather, 1 have seen
that crop deteriorated fully ten per cent in value.— Ay.

MACON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY APRIL G, 18-53.
V Hbroine at the Australian Diggings.—A la e
lumber of the Dublin CtnmercialJurml publislu.- a
1 >!ter of quite a romantic character, lately received by i.
1 idy of Dublin from a young female friend and foriiiei
s hooltellow of hers, now at the Australian diggings.—
It appears from her narrative, that she and her brother
were suddenly left orphans with £3OO for their necr s.-
ties, m l all the fancies and niceties which life in pros
perous circumstances is wont to include. 8 h says :
“He had passed through college with credit, and
co tld write p> ctrv and ride up *h ■ hounds ns good as any
bins inn who ever hunted the Golden Vale, while I
on my pari, could play polka, siug ballads, speak French
and a little German, was a capital horsewoman, (oniv .
wanted a horse,) and once in my life had comnoseil;.
waltz, and written sixteen chapters of a novel,” which
broke down from not knowing how to get nr, heroine
out of a terrible scrape. But alas! my dear “friend, al.
hese things might have done well enough, ‘once upon
a time,’ but the real battle of life was now to be fotigh
by two utterly inexperienced raw recruits, and ”l e
questions was, how our time and means were to be
profitably rather than pleasantly spent. Fortunately,
we were both young, strong, active and heartv, mid
never did any Sebastian and Viola of them a*!i', love
each other with a stronger and more enduring affection,
than did Frank and I —sole remnants, as we were, of so
mu li prosperity and so little prudence.”
After a nervous consultation over the £3OO, tbev de
termine Ito emigrate to Australia. On reaching’Mel
bourne, they found that they could not encounter worse
inconveniences at the diggings, and there they now- an
under singular interestiug circumstance. The young
lady says ;
“ 1 was resolved to accompany my brother and hi
friends to the diggings, and 1 felt ‘that’to do so in my owi 1
proper costume and character would be to run unite
cessary hazard. Hence my change. I cut m* hair int*
a very masculine fashion;” 1 purchased a broad felt hat
a sort of tunic or smock of coarse blue cloth, trouser,
to conform, boots of a miner, and thus pariing with nr
sex for a season, (1 hoped a better one,) behold me a
accomplished candidate for mining operations and
a. l the perils and inconvenience thev might be suppose*
io bring. All this transmutation took place with Franl
and Mr. M. s sanction ; indeed, it was he who firs
suggested the change, which 1 grasped and improve*
o.i 1 could not bear to be separated from Frank, an*
we all felt that I should be safer in my male attire thai
it 1 exposed myself to the dangers of “the route and res
idence in my proper guise. XV’e have now been niiu
we- ,; s absent from Melbourne, and have tried three 10-,
ealities, at the latter of which we have been most fir- ’
lunate, and our tent is pitched on the side of as prett* !
a valley as you could wish to visit. 1 have for tin sel
a sort of supplementary canvas chamber, in which i ;
sleep, cook, wash clothes—that is, inyown and Frank’s— ;
and keep watch and ward over our heap of gold dus; j
and ‘nuggets, the sight and touch of which inspirit me
when i grow dull, which I seldom do, for I have con
s ant ‘droppers in,’ and, to own the truth, even in
my palmiest days, I never was treated with greatei
courtesy or respect.
“Os course my sex is generally known. lam called
‘Mr. Harrv (an abbreviation of Harriet,) but no one
intrudes themore on that account. In fact I have be
come a sort of ‘necessity/ as I am always ready to do u
good turn—the great secret, after all, of social’success;
and never refuse to oblige a ‘neighbor,’ be the trouble
what it may. The consequences are pleasant enough.
Many a ‘nugget’ is thrust on me whether I will or no,
in return for cooking a pudding or darning a shirt; and
if all ‘ lie cooks and seamstresses in the world were as
splendidly paid as I am, the ‘Song of the Shirt’ would
never have been written at all events. Mv own hoard
amounts now to about £lo of gold; and if I go on accu
mulating, even tlie richest heiress in mv family in for
mer days will be left immeasurably behind. Some
times, when I have a few idle hours, I accompany
Frank and his comrades to the diggings, and u is a rare
thing to watch the avidity with which every ‘bucket’ ft
raised, washed, examined and commented upon. Wild
the life is, certainly, but full of excitement and hope ;
and strange as it is, I almost fear to tell you that 1 do
no* wish it to end! You can hardly conceive what a
merry company gather together in our tent every eve
ning, or how pleasantly the hours pass.”
Fanny Fern on Widows.—Fanny is going it on a
high figure this morning—she’s down on the widows:
l lime widows. They are the very d—. I’ve heard
the heathen called benighted: they have sense enough
to burn widows when their husbands die, and that’s a
step further in civilization than we have taken. There’s
nothing like ’em. If they make up their tninds to
many a man it’s done. I know one that was terribh
afraid of lightning, and every time a storm came up slit
would run into Mr. Smith’s house (he was a widower
and clap her little hands: and fly round till the man
was Half distracted lor fear she would get killed; th*
consequence was, she was Mrs. John Smith before three
thunder storms had rattled over her head. Wasn't that
diplomatic.
Then there’s that little blue-eyed Widow XX’iikins,
didn’t she drop her prayer book coming out of church,
for my handsome husband to pick up ? And didn’t I
see him squeeze her hand when he handed it back to
her ? And when I told him n l>m mgaoiaiole of n sto
ry going home to divert liis mind irom (lie Tittle minx,
didn’t he answer “yes” and “no” in the wrong place?
And didn’t he the next morning put salt iu his coffee
and sugar on his beef stake ? And won’t she be Mrs.
Samuel Jones No. 2 —Answer me that! I should like
to cut her up into inch pieces with a dull jack kn fe.
Bit it’s no use to struggle agaii s fate. I shall have
to put mv pride in my pocket and tell Samuel it is my
request he should marry her when I am gone, and that
will “pull wool” over the eyes of the people and save
his credit, for he’ll have her if an earthquake should be
the consequence.
It’s astonishing widows should be so indelicate as to
doff their weeds. It’s nothing more nor less than a
walking advertisement for another husband. M rs. Lee
was spending a short time at the sea shore in her new
regimentals, when one of the ladies at the tea table,
struck with a sudden thought, said very innocently —
“By the way, Mrs. Lee, where is your I
should have been sorry to have told where I thought
he was, for the way he used to swear when he talked
was awful to mention 1
Now, what a glorious example I’d be to the sex if j
Providence should see tit to make me a widow-! I wonder
if Sainuel’ll pop off .’ 1 should hate to put my curls be
hind my ears, but I’d do it, and 1 would’nt so much as
look at a man, unless it was Tom King!—XX'onder ii
he’d marry me! XV’ell!—there now! I’ve spoken in
meeting! It can’t be helped now, as Deacon Smith
said when his daughter surprised him by kissing XX'id
ow Moore. “It’s natur, Sally ; it’s natur.”
The Price of Diamonds.—Rough diamonds, fit for
cutting, are sold at £1 13s 4d to £2 the ear it. A carat
is rather more than three grains, and 156 carats equal
to one ounce troy. But if the stones are above one ca
rat, the square of the weight is multiple*! by tbe price
of a single carat; so that, for example, a rough stone of
three carats; costs 3x3x “2 or £lB. It is similar with
cut diamonds, and at present (1850) the purest bril
liants of one carat fetch more than £B, a brilliant of
two carats 2xsx s, or £32. When stones aro over eight
or ten carats, however, this is altered, so that they are
often valued still more highly. Diamonds of a quarter
of an ounce weight are extraordinary costly, but still
larger are met with, and one of the largest known is
that of the rajah of Mattun, in Borneo, which weighs
nearly two ounces und a half; that of the Sultan of Tur
key “weighs two ounces; one iu the Russian sceptre
more than an ounce and a quarter. The greatest di
ameter of the last is one inch, the thickness ten lines.
The Empress Catharine 11, purchased it in the year
1772, from Amsterdam, and lor it was paid £75,00*.',
and an annuity of £650.
Diamonds weighing an ounce exist also in the French
and Austrian regalia. One of the most perfect is the
French, known a* the Pitt or Regent diamond. It was
bought for Louis XX’ from an Englishman named Pitt,
for the sum of £135,000 sterling, but litis been valued
it hall a million. One of of the stones most renowned
in the East, is the Koh-i-noor, or Mountain of Light,
now in possession of the Queen of England. It came
from Golconda to Persia, and while uncut weighed
more than five ounces, but now-, polished, only about
two ounces. It is valued at more than £2,000,000 ster
ling.
If tve look only to the common mode of estimating
the value, a perfect brilliant weighing half a pound
would be worth £2", 000,000. Some have slated that
such u diamond exists among the royal treasures of
Portugal, as large as a hen’s egg ; according to others
this is only a topaz.
l-*r?“Ofthe magnitude of our internal trade, some
idea may be formed, says the N. Y. Journal of G■m
ii.t ree, by the following comparative statement, show
ing the tonnage and value of property sent from and
received at the seaboard by way of the New-York Ca
mils, the St. Lawrence and Mississippi rivers, for 1851.
The statement is from the report communicated to
Congress by Mr. Corwin, late Secretary of the Treasu
ry, in compliance with a resolution of the Senate of
March Bth, 1851.
